• Satellite L300, how to start from the cd/dvd external USB drive?

  I have an old laptop Satellite L300, latest version of the BIOS (2.20) installed.
  I would like to start on a connected external USB CD/DVD player
  PROBLEM:
  BIOS will not start on this CD/DVD disc.
  In the BIOS boot priority is: CD/DVD, USB, HDD
  BEHAVIOR:
  When starting, computer ignores the CD/DVD, ignores the USB and start on the HARD drive.
  QUESTION:
  Is it possible at all boot for CD/DVD USB external?

  Thanks for the efforts made to respond.
  Concerning

  It is NOT possible, I thought. REASON: The BIOS does not, does not reckognize CD/DVD (does not test if code such USB-CD/DVD bootable) drive connected via USB.

• Satellite C70D - how to start from the DVD

  Hello
  You just bought a Satellite C70D with Win 8.1. Everything works (as much as I know to knowledge), except start it from the DVD. I disabled the Secure Boot in the bios and changed the boot order on a DVD first, then USB and HARD drive. The DVD player starts, but then it jumps on the HARD disk and Windows is started. First time I tried there was a message like "DVD boot not supported" or something like that.
  The DVD is bootable, so it's not the problem.
  I want to install Linux Mint alongside Windows.
  Someone has already solved this problem?

  Update: changing of UEFI CMS in the Advanced BIOS tab at the start of the DVD, but Windows no longer starts. Is it possible to boot from DVDE and still be able to start Windows as well?

• Satellite A105 does not start from the CD Rom

  Today WinXP fall & I decide to reinstall.
  I change in the Bios to boot to the cd-rom first.
  But she continue to start the hard drive first. I don't know what to do, because I don't Win & I can't boot from any device except the HARD drive.

  Any body can help me? Can be extracted bios battary motherboard...

  Hello

  If you want to boot from the CD Rom, then a bootable Windows CD must be inserted in the first place.

  Immediately after starting the laptop, press the F12 key.
  This should allow the start on-screen menu then you could choose the ODD (CD/DVD drive) and the laptop should boot from the drive.

  Good bye

• Satellite C660-22V guard disconnect from the internet

  Hello

  I've had my toshiba c660-22v laptop for about a year and I just moved into a new House recently with a new internet provider.

  I have trouble maintaining an internet connection.
  Every so often, my laptop will disconnect the wifi.
  My roommates have no problem with the internet either.

  The only way I can put internet on my laptop is unplug the router of the socket and plug again.

  Can anyone help?

  Thank you

  > The only way I can put internet on my laptop is unplug the router of the socket and plug again.

  In my view, this has nothing to do with your laptop.
  It seems that the problem is related to the new router.

  By the way: I guess you have not had any problems with your laptop before moving to the new home. Right?

• Cannot start from the CD in my Satellite P300-23F

  Hello

  I'm trying to fix the old laptop from my brother. It's a Toshiba satellite p300-23f. The laptop did not work well, so he bought another. I think he might have a problem with the HARD drive, but I'm not sure about this and want to try to format the HARD drive and reinstall the operating system.

  When I start from the disc HARD I have no problem, insiders of OS normally, and I can 'use' laptop. The problem is when I try to boot from the OS CD. I get this message "Media test failure, check cable". I know the CD works, because recently I have instaled the operating system with this CD on another computer. I know that the CD player (not sure if it is called like this, but I think you understand what I mean) also works very well, because I tried different CD and it worked.

  I've tried pressing F12 and boot from CD it and also tried to change the BIOS and put the CD in the first place, but it does not work.

  No idea what's going on? Is it possible to make it work?

  Stand by.
  When Windows is completely loaded, you can use the optical disk drive and it reads all CDs and DVDs?
  When you put your Windows Windows installation disc can see the contents of the disc in Windows Explorer?

  Maybe you can use the CD but not DVD. check it out please.

  http://support.toshiba-tro.de/KB0/FAQ35005G002KR01.htm
  This article describes a seed on a protected unit but it s useful and you should check it out.

  In addition, you can check in the BIOS the option PC card. Try to change the mode of the CCIP Compatible controller or CardBus/16 bit and tries to start again the PCMCIA card.
  To change these settings, first change the configuration of device for all devices

• Satellite C660: Wireless Internet when remove the power supply drops

  Hello
  new Tosh Satellite C660 laptop works fine when the power supply cord is connected, soon as directed power is removed drops internet connection, usually to the second web page (the first web page is accessible, failure occurs usually when you try to access a new page)

  When I connect the power cable, internet connectivity returns as usual!

  I've been on the Advanced page setings power management,
  I have power settings "balanced" set up, and for the realtek card wireless put the plug and batttery power to maaximum settings (before they were to the maximum for diet and balanced for battery) even if it has no impact.

  The connection between the laptop and the wireless box seems 'excellent' level, the internet is the element which is a failure.

  I use the standard realteck card from the laptop (Realtek RTL8188CE Wireless LAN 802.11n PCI-E NIC) a D-Link Wireless N Router (DIR-615 ver1.00) and standard Modem provided by Virginmedia who bring them my services to wide band.

  All suggestions are welcome!

  Hi, Leon,

  Always include computer make and model, please.  Thank you.

  Research in the Bios (reboot and press F1 or F2 depending on your system, check that all usb options are enabled (for example, USB legacy or support for USB 2.0 devices).)

  If there is a timeout parameter, set it to Max.

  Then, find the boot device priority section

  A USB flash drive, which is usually listed as USB - HDD, but may be listed as a removable device, will have a priority very low start.

  Rearrange the boot device priority so that the flash drive has a higher priority than the hard drive.

  Install Windows XP from USB key

  • Insert the USB key into the USB port on the computer.

  • Open the "I386" folder and find the file "Winnt.exe".

  Double-click on the "Winnt.exe" to launch a command prompt BACK to an installation of Windows XP.

  Type the path of the location of your "I386" folder in the DOS window. For example, if your USB is the letter "D" in your "My Computer" window, type "d:\i386" without the quotes and press the Enter"" key.

  Let the installation program copy the Windows XP installation files on your computer.

  Restart your computer to a command prompt. The Windows XP Setup will continue automatically.

  Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation. The program will ask you your Windows XP product key in this process.

• In the DC series models starting from the IDE hard disk?

  In addition to above question - are you able to use sata cd rom on machines that have the ide and sata connectors and boot from the drive hard ide?

  Thanks in advance

  cpu201

  Hello:

  The last model that came standard with a HDD IDE was the d530. From the dc7100, primary hard drives are SATA, and starting with the dc7800 is not an IDE connector on the motherboard at all.

  You may be able to boot from an IDE hard drive in a dc7700 and earlier versions, but you will need to remove the optical drive to the primary IDE cable position and place it in a secondary position, and that's if you can get the cable to fit. Otherwise, a SATA optical drive must be connected to the SATA 2 port.

  The d530 starts natively on the IDE HDD and you can add a SATA optical drive to the sata port 1 and always start from the HARD disk.

• I restart the computer and changed the BIOs to boot from the CD. So as usual, I'm prompted to press any key to start from the CD or DVD.

  Hello Comunity Microsoft :D My name is Mike and I built a gaming pc. Everything was going well for the first 3 days, but now I have a few crashes very violent. Speakers in loop and buzz and screen lock. I have to completely shut down to go back to a working state. I did everything I could possibly think of to solve this problem, but I can't.

  Then. on the problem. Today, I decided that I was able to solve all the problems by reinstalling windows. I had my keys together and put the disc in. I restart the computer and changed the BIOs to boot from the CD. So as usual, I'm prompted to press any key to start from the CD or DVD. I do and I get normal loading windows files, and at the end of this road, I get the Welcome screen in windows7 with no option and a fat slider. I don't have the little box that tells me that I can fix my computer or reinstall windows, NOTHING. I tried several times and received the same result<--(Insanity: root="" meaning...="" just="" saying)="" so="" i="" called="" windows,="" or="" had="" windows="" call="" me="" rather,="" and="" the="" tech="" says="" she's="" never="" heard="" of="" such="" a="" thing="" happening,="" and="" walked="" me="" through="" all="" these="" steps="" that="" i="" have="" already="" tried....="" still="" no="" help.="" so="" i="" am="" asking="" the="" community.="" has="" this="" ever="" happened="" to="" you="" and="" how="" did="" you="" make="" it="" work.="" and="" please="" don't="" post="" a="" list="" of="" regurgitated="" back="" log="" fix="" lists.="" rest="" assured="" i="" have="" already="" done="" it="" and="" failed="" to="" receive="" a="" different="">

  Just to isolate the problem, try to download a new copy of Windows 7, and then try again:

  For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

  It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

  Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

  How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

  Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

  What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

  Regarding problems with the computer itself, try to disconnect all nonessential equipment attached to it to see if the problem persists.

  I would also try switching around components such as modules of memory to see if the problem persists.

  I would also check to make sure that all components are mounted and installed correctly.
